I am trying to create a MP3 player for a website i have built for a client, i found a tutorial in a book i bought not long ago called The complete Flash MX handbook, and its made by ComputerArts magazine.

I followed the whole tutorial and kept checking it to see if it works while i was doing things to it. But i cant seem to get the buttons to work :-\

I have uploaded the FLA to:  
[http://www.jmmedia.co.uk/kaljao/mp3player.fla](http://www.jmmedia.co.uk/kaljao/mp3player.fla)

and the SWF to:  
[http://www.jmmedia.co.uk/kaljao/mp3player.swf](http://www.jmmedia.co.uk/kaljao/mp3player.swf)

So you can see if i am doing somert wrong :crazy:

I also noticed that the files were very blurry, how do i stop this from happening to?

Hope you can help me

Jason

P.S if i cant fix this is there any good tutorials online for Sound control??

Although the code is barely commented, it’s really simple. I think you won’t have any problems with it. =)

Is that the way you wanted it? 😛

Ok, i have them sounds, they are about 10 seconds long, once you click play the first track plays, and after that track has finished it plays next track, how do i stop it from doing that?

I want it to continuously loop 1 track till the user clicks skip track button.

Oh!! 😛

Replace the whole onSoundComplete handler with this line of code:

```auto
track.onSoundComplete = track.start;

```
